BIOGRAPHY

(they/them)
Hi!
I'm a welsh artist based in Edinburgh and South Wales. My practice explores themes of identity, language, place, protest and industrialisation.
​
I use sound, metalwork and text to create sets and utilise welsh language as a way to explore my detached relationship with welshness.
​
Seeing people use and talk about Cymraeg documents that it is still alive and means a lot to so many people.
I strive to share this history and experience that many aren’t aware of.
Suppression of cultures through colonisation has been experienced by different groups, in different ways, to different degrees. My practice is a manifestation of my experience following the consequences of one such instance and aims to grow and share stories on a wider scale.
​
Education: 1st class degree in Painting from Edinburgh College of Art at the University of Edinburgh.
​
Awards: The Purchase Prize from Edinburgh University at ECA 2023 Degree show.
​
Workshops: I run children's workshops focusing on experimenting, creativity (and mess) providing children with the tools to let their imaginations run wild.
